Who says tuberculosis has a PR problem? Thanks to John Green, TB community has managed to raise its voice loud and clear to share that the situation is still bad on the ground after the US funding cuts. And action is needed now to mitigate the damage done.

ACT! AP has empowered communities to lead the TB response. Survivors have become champions, breaking stigma, raising awareness, and ensuring people complete treatment. When communities lead, lives are saved.

People-centered, community-led TB responses help reach the most marginalizedârural communities, those facing geographical barriers, and those left behind. TB services must be accessible to ALL.

TB isnât just about medication. Itâs about dignity. Itâs about mental health. Itâs about peer support. Communities are leading the fightânot just against TB but against stigma, discrimination, and the systemic barriers that hold us back.

Communities affected by TB are the experts in what works. Yet, we are still fighting for our voices to be heard in policymaking spaces. No one can replace us in outreach, advocacy, and shaping better TB programs. Itâs time for real inclusion!

Asia-Pacific carries two-thirds of the global TB burden. The time to invest in communities is NOW. The time to invest in Asia-Pacific is NOW. It is the right thing to do. It is the wise thing to do.

Every day, hundreds die from a preventable and curable disease. We have the medicine & the technology. If weâre not ending TB, the problem is no longer the bacteriaâitâs the lack of investment, political will, & leadership. The time to act is NOW!

Slashing TB funding doesnât just stall progressâit abandons people mid-treatment, disrupts care, and costs lives. The world can't afford to look away!

Clinical trials are a lifeline for many. People who stepped forward for life-saving TB treatment are now left stranded. Pulling funding mid-trial is barbaric
